but what if they split more or less evenly over romney got a little bit more? if romney had 151% of the lgbt vote he would have won ohio, florida and virginia. he would have been within four electoral votes of the presidency. so, in florida all he had to do was win a little over a third of the lgbt vote to win those states. so, while i don't think that -- in the way that we are not talking about immigration and things that republicans have to rethink their strategy on, i don't think it's quite that level of impact but a little bit of movement in the lgbt vote in key states and this election suggests it would have been a very different picture for the national election, and so while i'm not willing to say the lgbt vote won the election for obama, what i strongly think is it made a very important difference in the tenor of the election and the majority of the electoral college and definitely like i said a fairly modest movement in that vote in key states. >> are if any of you familiar with what kind of targeting the obama campaign did to lgbt voters in the states
